will discuss the legal and policy implications of rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Region following Hurricane Katrina, addressing specifically how to overcome historic inequities along lines of race and class.
While levees have been patched and the lights come on block by block across the Gulf Coast, the daunting task of rebuilding the region has only just begun. In addition to destroying lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure, Hurricane Katrina exposed historic racial and socioeconomic divisions that existed long before the storm.
CLE Credit Requested.
